Sri Lankan Christians Cry for Help
[From December Mosaic]
As Sri Lanka falls into a worsening climate of civil war, Buddhist militants have continued their campaign against Christianity, attacking churches and threatening Christian schools. Christians in Sri Lanka are calling for help from the international community following a rapid deterioration of law and order. The plea follows an attack on Nov. 8 by the Sri Lankan armed forces on refugees sheltered at a school in Kathiraveli, a coastal town in the eastern district of Batticaloa. Protestant and Roman Catholic schools in the Colombo area have received letters demanding that they cancel all Christmas programs, and mobs around the country are frequently preventing people from attending worship services.
